    Two loads here for direct customer, not an exclusive customer just direct bill.
    Tell me what you'd consider a good price ? I done bid them and was told I was to high.
    load 1
    35125 to 30028 (add a few miles)
    load 9500lbs
    34 foot long, tarps required
    more than likely pick one day deliver next .
    Rate ???

    load 2 and 3
    35950 to 36301 (add 20miles)
    loads both under 6000 lbs
    Over dimensional 120 and 130 inches wide
    normally takes 2.5 to 3 days due to shippers hours to do both loads.
    Price?? (each)

    I quoted 675 and was told I was to high , I move short turns for them for 400 a pop takes about 3-4 hours 70 miles total. funny thing is I've booked loads for same through brokers for even more money than they offered me.

    Funny how that goes sometimes...Might be a questionable customer?

    At any rate..Yeah,I feel your $675 quote was more than fair..As you can see our numbers are fairly close.

    Having direct customers isn't always better. What's even funnier they can't seem to grasp why people don't show up or drop them at the last minute.

    Tying up your truck for almost a day 675 is more than fair

    Would be nice if they'd see it that way.
